Three Trajectories of Activity Limitations in Early Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis: A 5-Year Follow-up Study
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of activity limitations among older adults. The course of activity limitations is highly variable; some…Abstract Number: 1126 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison between Osteoartritis Initiative and CHECK study (Cohort Hip & Cohort Knee); Development of pain and function during 4 years follow-up
Background/Purpose: Pain and disability related to osteoarthritis (OA) may generally be considered to be chronic, but it is known that its course can be very…Abstract Number: 1127 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Dynamic Stereo X-Ray Evaluation of Knee Joint Mechanics During Downhill Walking in Subject with Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Altered tibiofemoral (TF) joint kinematics and joint surface interactions have been linked with development and progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, accurate in-vivo investigations…Abstract Number: 1128 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Different of Patterns Knee Pain Trajectories: Longitudinal Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)
Background/Purpose: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is one of the most common forms of arthritis and the most common cause of disability among the elderly. Knee pain…Abstract Number: 1129 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prevalence of Symptomatic Basilar Thumb Joint Osteoarthritis in the General Population
Prevalence of symptomatic basilar thumb joint osteoarthritis in the general population Background/Purpose: While the radiographic prevalence of basilar thumb osteoarthritis (OA) is well described, little…Abstract Number: 1130 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Effect of Age On the Number of Osteoarthritis Flares with Continuous Versus Intermittent Celecoxib Treatment
Background/Purpose: Continuous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) treatment is significantly more efficacious than intermittent dosing1during 22-weeks in preventing flares in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the…Abstract Number: 1131 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Intraarticular Infliximab for Knee Osteoarthritis: High Baseline Levels of Synovial Cellularity and High MRI Cartilage Injury At the Lateral Tibial Plateau Predict Improvement in Total WOMAC Score
Background/Purpose: Synovial tissue from patients with OA often demonstrates inflammation. We hypothesized that a single intraarticular (IA) injection of an anti-TNF drug would decrease inflammatory…Abstract Number: 1132 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Prevalence of Knee Pain in Ultramarathon Runners
Prevalence of Knee Pain in Ultramarathon Runners Background/Purpose: Approximately one in four Americans suffer from frequent knee pain. While some studies have linked long-distance running…Abstract Number: 1133 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Gait Differences Are Present in Subjects with Symptomatic Vs. Asymptomatic Mild Radiographic Hip Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: It is known that joint mechanics are involved in the hip osteoarthritis (OA) disease process. In a previous study1, several gait variables were lower…Abstract Number: 1134 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
What Are the Levels of Physical Activities and Their Associations with Quality of Life in Patients with Symptomatic Hip and/or Knee Osteoarthritis?
Background/Purpose: Physical activities (PA) practice is recommended by numerous public health organizations. According to international recommendations, patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) should be…Abstract Number: 1135 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Combined Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, Once of Three Times Daily, Provide Clinically Relevant Analgesia in Knee Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: The analgesic efficacy of combined glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate (CS) in knee osteoarthritis (OA) remains controversial. Criticism to previous studies includes small sample size,…Abstract Number: 1096 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Lower Income Paradoxically Associated with Better Patient-Reported Outcomes After Knee Arthroplasty in the U.S
Background/Purpose: To assess whether income is associated with patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods: We used the prospectively collected data from…Abstract Number: 1097 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Association of Fat Distribution and Clinically Defined Hand Osteoarthritis: The Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity Study
Background/Purpose: Obesity, assessed as body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2, is an important risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA). BMI depends only upon height and…Abstract Number: 1098 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Knee Osteoarthritis and Frailty in Older Adults: Findings From the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study and Osteoarthritis Initiative
Background/Purpose: Both knee osteoarthritis (OA) and the frailty syndrome affect older adults and both are associated with functional limitation and disability. Frailty in elders is…Abstract Number: 1099 • 2012 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Whole Blood Lead Is Associated with Symptoms, but Not Radiographic Osteoarthritis, in Multiple Joint Sites: The Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project
Background/Purpose: We have previously identified associations between whole blood lead (Pb) and knee osteoarthritis (OA) and with biomarkers of joint metabolism. We hypothesized that Pb…
